What is Safe and Sane?
WSP says these are legal:
Reloadable Mortars
A shell consisting of a container, a lift
charge, a time fuse, a burst charge, and
stars/effects. The lift charge propels the
shell out of the tube igniting the burst
charge at the right altitude, igniting the
effects.
Mine/Shells/Cakes
Mine – An aerial device that shoots stars into the sky in an upward spray pattern. Shell – A shell is an aerial item that is fired into the sky. Cake – Dense-packed collection of mine/shell tubes that are fused together.
Roman Candles
Heavy paper or cardboard tube containing
pyrotechnic composition. Upon ignition,
up to ten “stars” are individually expelled
at several-second intervals.
